This is a picture of typical food in Uganda. It may not look very good, b/c I had already started eating it before taking the picture. It was actually very good...cassava -like potatoes only not, meat, chipate, pea and carrots, avocado, and this mashed banana thing, which looks like mashed potatoes in the picture, but actually doesn't taste like bananas.
THis is a picture of Lubiri Secondary School in Kampala. This is the school that Jacob goes to, and is a school without a lot of money, but which is like 10th in the nation. It was great to visit. But very different from the school I am working at in Gulu. I will post more pictures as I can, but it just takes a long time to upload them.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
Do they need books or supplies like pencils, rulers, etc that we could send?
hi peterak. it sounds like you're having an amazing experience. i especially like that it took all day just to make a key for one test. was it some sort of standardized test, that your co-op didn't already have a key? anyway, i can easily picture erin taking all day to make a key and many more days to actually grade a set of tests. oh wait, i don't need to picture it...it happens all the time! love ya and miss ya! amy
mmmmm...food looks yummy...very natural :) Miss ya!
Daddy put the school picture on our computer as wallpaper. I did remind him that it was of the other school. That was OK because it is near you. Take care and keep sending letters - Love Mom
Hey TP! We were away for the weekend, but now I'm caught up on what you've been up to. The pictures are really cool. We are thrilled that your having an awesome time. It seems like it's very rewarding, yet frusturating with certian topics some times. I can't imagine taking an ENTIRE day to create a test key....but, like you said "TIA". We enjoy hearing about the different culture aspects and how you've interacted with the children. It's great to know that people over there are excited that America is helping out. It's very similar to what's happening in the Middle East....what you see and hear on the news is not really true - many people are excited and happy that Americans are in their country helping out, providing food, shelter, protection, etc. We are excited to hear more about your daily adventures. Please let us know if we can send anything over to help - like Mr. P said - pencils, paper, markers, etc. We can send a care package. =) Love ya bunches!!! =)
